Private Jet Arrivals & Departures
The car worked to the movement rather than to the booking, so it is alongside when it should be and nobody is waiting on anybody.
Service
Private Aviation & Yacht
The car side of private travel, planned around your aircraft rather than around a printed schedule.
Private flying removes the slack that makes an ordinary airport transfer forgiving. There is no terminal to wait in and no arrivals board to watch. The car simply has to be in the right place, and the only way that happens reliably is by settling the detail before you fly.
So the arrival details are taken when the journey is arranged, the collection point is agreed and confirmed in writing, and where a terminal or handler needs the arrangement agreed in advance we coordinate that with them. You land knowing where to go and who is meeting you.
What this covers
Three Kinds Of Private Arrival
Private terminals
Private Terminals & Airfields
Farnborough, Biggin Hill, RAF Northolt and the London Heliport at Battersea, along with the private terminals at Luton and Stansted. Each has its own procedures.
By sea
Yacht & Marina Transfers
The road journey either side of the water, planned around the berth rather than around a nominal pickup time.
The handover
Timed To The Aircraft
A private departure is a sequence rather than a drop-off.
The car, the handler, the crew and the aircraft all have to agree on one time, and none of them is looking at the same screen. We work to the movement rather than to the booking, so the car is alongside when it should be and nobody is waiting on anybody.
On the way in, the useful decisions have already been taken by the time you are on the ground: where the car will be, who is meeting you, and what happens if the day does not go to plan. On the way out, the departure is worked backwards from the time you need to be at the aircraft.
A Private Aircraft Does Not Run To A Published Schedule, So Neither Does The Car Meeting It.

Before you land
What Is Actually Arranged In Advance
Almost everything that makes a private arrival feel effortless happens before anyone reaches the airfield.
The collection point is the first thing worth settling. A private terminal works to its own procedure and its own handler, and those arrangements change — so the point is agreed before you travel and confirmed in writing, rather than worked out on the apron.
Then the vehicle, chosen around the party and the luggage rather than the distance. Then the onward journey, which is where most of the time actually goes: the run into London from Farnborough at six in the evening is a different proposition from the same distance at ten in the morning.
None of this is complicated. It is a short conversation before you fly, and it is the difference between a car that is simply there and one that has to be found.
The service
Organised Around How The Journey Actually Works
The Arrival Details, Taken At Booking
We ask for the field, the terminal and the expected arrival when the journey is arranged, and plan the collection around them. There is no automatic monitoring behind this — so if your schedule moves, a message from you is what moves the car. It is a smaller promise than tracking, and it is one we can keep.
Coordination With The Terminal, Where Appropriate
Where a private terminal or ground handler needs collection arrangements agreed in advance, we coordinate that with them rather than leaving it to you. We hold no standing access at any facility, so what is agreed is confirmed with them rather than assumed.
Collection Beside The Aircraft Where The Field Permits It
Some airfields allow a car to meet an aircraft at the steps; many do not, and it can depend on the handler and the day. Which applies to your arrival is confirmed before you travel. Where it is not permitted, your chauffeur meets you at the agreed point inside the private terminal.
Waiting Time Built In
Arrival times move, and the walk from an aircraft to a car is not a fixed number of minutes. Waiting time is part of the arrangement rather than something discussed afterwards, and the allowance is clear before you travel.
By sea
Yacht And Marina Transfers
The same approach, with the tide in place of the timetable.
An arrival by sea has the same shape as an arrival by air: a time that is approximate until it is not, luggage that is heavier than anyone expects, and somewhere to be afterwards. We plan the road journey around the berth rather than around a nominal pickup time.
The journeys are straightforward to describe. Airport to marina on the day you join. Hotel to berth on the morning of a passage, and berth to hotel at the end of one. Marina to a restaurant or an event in the evening. And the longer runs — a berth on the south coast to central London, or to Farnborough for an onward flight.
Where a tender or a berth arrangement sets the timing, we work to what you or your crew confirm rather than to a published schedule. Tell us the marina and the time you expect to be ashore, and the car is planned around it. Luggage is handled where that is wanted; on a change-over day it is usually the part that decides which vehicle is appropriate.
We claim no arrangement with any marina and no access beyond the public approach. What is on offer is the road journey either side of the water, planned properly.

Common questions
Questions We Are Asked About Private Arrivals
Do You Provide Live Flight Tracking?
No, and it is better to say so plainly. There is no flight feed behind this service, so nothing is monitored automatically. What we do instead is take your arrival details when the journey is arranged, plan the collection around them, and keep a line open so a change reaches your chauffeur. If your schedule moves, tell your contact and the collection is re-arranged around the new time.
Can My Chauffeur Meet Me At The Aircraft?
At some fields, yes. Aircraft-side collection is the airfield's decision and the handler's, and it varies by terminal and by day — so it is confirmed for your arrival rather than assumed. Where it is not permitted, your chauffeur meets you at the agreed point inside the private terminal instead. Either way you are told which applies before you travel.
Can You Arrange Collection From A Private Terminal?
Yes. Where a terminal or handler needs collection arrangements agreed in advance, we coordinate that with them on your behalf. What we cannot do is promise access we do not control, so the arrangement is confirmed with the facility rather than assumed on your behalf.
What Happens If My Arrival Time Changes?
Tell your contact and the journey is re-planned around the new time. Because there is no automatic monitoring, that message from you is what moves the car — which is why the arrival details taken at booking matter, and why we ask for a number we can reach on the day.
Which Private Aviation Terminals Do You Cover?
The London business-aviation fields: Farnborough, Biggin Hill, RAF Northolt and the London Heliport at Battersea, along with the private terminals at Luton and Stansted. Each has its own procedures. If you are flying into another UK field, ask and we will confirm what is possible there.
Can You Arrange A Transfer From A Private Airfield To Central London?
Yes, and it is the most common journey we arrange from these fields. The run into town is planned around the hour you land rather than a nominal duration, because the same distance behaves differently at eight in the morning and at six in the evening. Onward journeys beyond London are arranged the same way.
Can You Arrange Airport-To-Marina Or Marina-To-Hotel Journeys?
Yes. Arrivals by air followed by a transfer to a berth, a hotel stay either side of a passage, and the return at the end of it are all planned as one arrangement rather than as separate bookings. Tell us the berth or the marina and the time you expect to be ashore.
How Much Waiting Time Is Included?
Waiting time is built into every private aviation booking, because arrival times move and the walk from an aircraft to a car is not a fixed number of minutes. The allowance is set when the journey is arranged so it is clear before you travel rather than discussed afterwards.
Can I Book A Return Journey?
Yes. Departures are worked backwards from the time you need to be at the aircraft rather than forwards from when it would be convenient to leave, which matters more on the way out than on the way in. If a requested departure looks tight, we will say so while it can still be changed.
Can I Book More Than One Vehicle For A Group?
Yes. Where a party or its luggage is too large for one vehicle, several can be arranged and coordinated around the same arrival. Vehicle availability depends on the date, so the number is confirmed when the arrangement is made rather than promised in advance of it.

Tell Us How You Are Travelling And We Will Arrange The Road Journey Around It
The field or the marina, the expected time, how many are travelling and what you are carrying is enough to begin. We will come back with the collection arrangement and a straight answer about anything that does not work as drafted.
For arrivals through a main terminal, our airport chauffeur services cover the scheduled fields; where a private arrival opens a wider programme, our events and delegations page covers movements that need more than one car.
